Freefalling
Chapter Two: Runt
Catori got out of the car and quickly made her way to the front of the club and began looking around as she drug Colleen behind her. Only to let go of the girls hand and run over and hug well it was more like a tackle. A taller thin black haired boy.
"Hay babe." He said as he kissed her lightly, "Damn you look good tonight." he told her as she blushed then gave him a playful hurt look.
"Yah yah I know. What you think I forgot?" He said snapping something around her neck "What kind of guy would I be if I forgot my leading lady's birthday?" He asked as she looked at the silver chain and blue lock around her neck.
It was something simple and sweet, yet the thing that caught her eye was the one on his neck.
"This is the key to mine." He said putting it in her hand, "And this is the key to yours." he said keeping it.
She smiled as she hugged him, "Oh Runt this is Colleen, my best friend." he said as the pink haired girl offered him her hand.
Shaking the girls hand he smiled, "I hope she's only told you the good things bout me like she tells me bout you." He teased as Catori stood there attached to his arm.
Colleen laughed but turned her attention back to another boy, "Is she always like that?" he asked as his half blond nodded.
The night went on yet she never made it to the show, Catori lay on a bench her head resting on Runt's lap as they looked at the three rivers connect.
"What's it like to live out here?"
"You do what you want when you want."
"Don't you miss your family?"
"Nope."
"Why not?"
"Why go back there when I can stay here with you?"
"I guess your right."
"You guess?"
"I mean your right, it'd be nice to live free."
"Then do it if you want to."
"But I don't know the first thing about it."
"Don't worry I'll take care of you."
"Promise?"
"Always."
Catori looked up at him as he told her he'd always take care of her, she smiled as she sat up and hugged him. She never had anyone always there for her, that was probably the reason that her brother had gotten her the puppy. Looking at her he smiled, letting his hand trace the side of her face lightly, "Or you could just stay with me tonight." placing his finger over her lips before she could protest.
"Nothing's going to happen, I'm not going to try anything. Just spend the night. See if you like living the way YOU want to. Hell I'll even sleep elsewhere."
"No, stay with me all night." Catori said as he helped her off the bench,
"You want the sleeping bag?"
"We can share."
"You sure?"
"Yah I'm sure."
She smiled as they walked up to his squat. Looking at the others around she felt slightly out of place. Looking at the girl that was giving her dirty look Catori held onto his arm a little tighter. "Cass sit the fuck down. Hay guys, yinz lissen up, this here is MY girl Catori."
He looked at her as he began to introduce her to everyone there, though he noticed she was shying away from most of them, especially when Cass came towards them. Yet after a few drinks and a little while later Catori had opened up slightly was more talkative.
Yet as the night moved on her eyes grew heavy, Runt had already made the bed for her "come on babe lay down."
His voice was soft as he walked with her over to were he slept letting her lay down first, yet once she was laying she stopped him as he went to leave. "Stay." she told him as she rested her head on his chest only to fell his lips brush softly over her forehead.
